  1. You couldn’t make this shit up…kusd will eventually have a lifetime movie made about them im certain

  2. Why on Gods Green Earth do administrators and other people in charge Protect obvious bad people ?
    In this case public employee bosses protecting the workers while putting innocent children at risk while doing so !!

    Fire the whole lot of them.
    Then abolish public education as we know it and let parents take the tax money that is on their property tax bills that are directed at schools and use it to send their children to private schools.
    That said, the guy who figures out how to bus kids around to multiple different private schools will make this wish possible

  6. KUSD is officially harvesting the crop they planted and soon to fully consume the fruit of their ways
    (Deception deceit lies violence theft and murder fully committed as a witting servant to whom they serve which is Gadreal or god- proper name for the title satan the accuser or Prosecutor which is ironic as KCE is not just a lapdog for the DAs office but the controlled opposition of the DA office propagating their pathetic propaganda yet sharing the same values and most laughable part they share the same puppetmaster -all synonymous for the same father of lies Gadreal and his number 2, chabad, who with subfriduge gives these aforementioned cowards marching orders yet they are attacking each other
    If you have been exposed to the words of the messiah, yahushua, you may recall the passage in Matthew yahushua performs miracle of restoring a dumb blind lunatic and chabad ancestors the Pharisees accuse yahushua of casting out these demons who caused the man’s prior condition by Beelzebub the prince of demons and yahushua as he always did with the narcissistic scribes and Pharisees, whether he was silent or used words he showed who possessed intelligence and who possessed retardation. Unlike the SQUARE lies that KUSD teaches our children, yahushua educates with intelligence which must be in truth as that is aligned with reality pretty simple concept right? Unlike the intriguers, the nephlihm spirit filled liers he railed against and since he was with yhwh as an apprentice taking part in creation thus possessing the spirit of yhwh as in 2nd Timothy 1:7 which defines yhwhs spirit as power, love and discipline(knowing when to use restraint speak or be silent), in contrast the Pharisees were in way over their head since their retarded view of intelligence is the nephlihm spirit they possess that was the bastard procreation of lust from evil women and fallen watcher angels which is full of fear resulting in narcissistic control and manipulation tactics like gaslighting to make up for their full retarded state, but this time yahushua used words and very pointed and TRUE: pointing out to them number their number one mistake being unforgivable of saying he healed the retard with his unclean nephlihm spirit then what is very relevant to KUSD and all the other ingrate institutions of this world fighting each other is yahushua said, EVERY KINGDOM WHICH IS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND AND WILL BE DESTROYED AND IF SATAN IS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF, HOW CAN HIS KINGDOM SURVIVE? AND YET YOU SAY I CAST OUT DEMONS BY BEELZEBUB. IF I CAST OUT DEMONS BY BEELZEBUB, BY WHAT SPIRIT DO YOUR SONS CAST THEM OUT? THEREFORE THEY WILL BE YOUR JUDGES
    BUT IF I CAST OUT DEMONS BY THE FINGER OF YHWH THEN THE KINGDOM OF YHWH IS COME NEAR TO YOU
    conclusion: the kingdom or reign of yhwh you know the gospel the good news has drawn nigh at hand not near but nigh much closer than anyone thinks which means Gadreals false kingdom is about to be overthrown by yhwh thru yahushua
    Question is, ARE YOU READY FOR HIS RETURN?
    For the sake of your soul you need to be cuz it is not seeming to tarry any longer it’s coming quick
    If you cant see the signs lose the demons cuz your blind
    WHO IS THE MASTER OF DIVIDE AND CONQUER? THE ILLUMINATI YOU SAY? PRETTY CLEAR FROM SCRIPTURE THAT YHWH IS SINCE HIS WORDS ARE COMING TRUE AS WE SEE SATANS INSTITUTIONS AT EACH OTHERS THROATS FIGURITVELY SPEAKING, I LOVE TO KNOW THE ESOTERIC OR HIDDEN MEANINGS OF THIS WORLDS DEVICES BUT I REALLY LOVE KNOWING YHWHS WORD WHICH IS FAR MORE BASED IN REALITY
    OH AND BY THE WAY THE PASSAGE I CITED OF YAHUSHUAS WORDS WAS THE SAME TIME THAT HIS MOTHER AND BROTHERS CAME TO HOUSE TO HAVE HIM COME OUT TO THEM WHICH YAHUAHUA DID NOT ABLIGE AS HIS MOTHER AND BROTHERS SAID HE HAS LOST HIS MIND.
    THAT IS ALWAYS THE LAST FEARFULL CARD PLAYED BY DEMONS WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS SIDES OF THE PIT TIME FOR THEM, IS TO PLAY THE HES CRAZY CARD
    DIDNT WORK ON YAHUSHUA, YIRMIYAHU, PAUL OR MYSELF AND NEVER WILL BUT GO AHEAD BRING IT LETS GO CUZ ITS ON, ON LIKE DONKEY KONG YOU JAS

      1. Jesus is LORD is accurate in that according to even Catholic scholars and factual ancient hebrew translation to English the nephlihm demon Hebrew name Baal is translated to English as Lord and master
        Coincidentally, due to the FACT that the “mighty man (nephlihm )Nimrod who assembled all the men on earth 350 years after the flood as the first 1 world government experiment which didn’t pan out too well just the same as the 2nd time it rears it’s ugly one world government head coming soon, a strong wind overthrew the thousands of foot tall tower which had a base of 1 mile squared and then confused them by changing their languages which is why you see different cultures since then worshipping the same ingrate degenerate evil retard Baal but I’m all different languages as the Greek name for Baal is Zeus and couple that with revelation ch 13 which states emphatically that the name of the beast is a number and is his number is 666
        Koine Greek numbers had alphabetical equivalent and is pronounced 600 chee 60 zu and 6 s, cheesues or Jesus with infused j letter and sound implemented in 1700s all in an attempt to obscure the name of the creator YHWH pronounced yahuah and his son yahushua not the ingrate Baal or cheesues in Greek, nice try disembodied nephlihm filled heart and mind ingrates but the clock has struck truth
        Sound the bell in your obelisk symbolizing church steeple bell towers 666 times to welcome your anti messiah coming soon only to be quickly given an eternal cure for his seemingly incurable evil when he is fired into the sides of the pit in gahenna after he stupidly retaredly stands in the temple and proclaims himself to be eloheim and that there is no other
        That temple is the dome of the rock which IS the 2nd temple as it was never destroyed in 70 AD like the forgotten children, the pharassies tried to receive the world happened. You don’t need to worry your pretty little heads of my understanding being AI generated as this has never been revealed til now and notice the key word, UNDERSTANDING, not an interpretation but an understanding through wisdom given in abundance to me to discern scripture and the fallen worlds history

      1. AI?
        Wow
        If you read it you would realize it could not be AI as my vernacular and wisdom on this subject has not been uttered by another human as far as I know nor myself til now so tell me how would AI compile this when these concepts and wording has never been compiled like this before?
        I won’t hold my breath waiting for your answer as you likely won’t have one

  7. Sure kusd raise our taxes so you can continue to hire groomers, criminals, and drunks in the classroom. What an absolute embarrassment this system is

  8. One odd thing is that the tech ed teacher can weld, or build something. The business teacher has never owned a business, ran a business; but is somehow teaching the kids business. Its like having a fat gym teacher……

    1. KUSD has a lot of those. There was a Cushman at the elementary school level who used to be a big mamma jamma. Look at Bullen….

  9. Mr Lou at bullen kept a bottle in his desk. Know this because me and a friend snuck in his office and chugged away. That was 45 years ago.

  10. I guess this this applies to KUSD…..

    “The proverb “a fish rots from the head down” means that problems, corruption, or failure in an organization are primarily caused by its leadership. Just as a fish is said to spoil first at the head, the behavior, decisions, and culture established by those at the top inevitably trickle down to affect the entire group.”

  11. There are 3 private high schools within KUSD.

    Just take your kids out of KUSD.

    You get a 4k voucher for 3k to 8th grade. 10k voucher for high school.
